Title: How To Enhance Sprint Perfomance In Zimbabwean Sprinters Through Neurophysiological Training
Abstract: Sprinting is a fundamental component of many sports, and the ability to generate and maintain high velocities is crucial for success. In Zimbabwe, where track and field is a popular sport, understanding and optimizing the neurophysiological factors underlying sprinting performance could have significant implications for the development and training of elite Zimbabwean sprinters. This dissertation aimed to investigate the application of neurophysiological training principles to enhance the athletic performance of sprinters in Zimbabwe.
The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessments of neurophysiological variables and qualitative insights from interviews with Zimbabwean sprinters, coaches, and sports scientists.
The findings of this dissertation provide valuable insights into the neurophysiological underpinnings of sprinting performance and offer practical implications for the development and implementation of evidence-based training programs for Zimbabwean sprinters. The research contributes to the growing body of knowledge in the field of sports neuroscience and has the potential to enhance the athletic success of Zimbabwean sprinters on the global stage.
